A case where it would make sense, if bitcoin ends up worth nothing. It doesn't matter if they're scarce when they're still worth nothing. I hope it doesn't end up so, luckily I'm not in a position where I need to tr

That's a pretty fair point about the CSS url rewriting, it's possibly the kind of thing you can fix with a browserify transform, but iffy and as you say component is doing it already.

I know there is probably an actual definition of the 80/20 rule somewhere, but here's my interpretation, which I think gels with the article. 80% of the work is done quickly , which is the absolute core stuff, with 0 polish and fu

Wow. Because this surprised me so much, I just found out that if you open up a node REPL and type 'hello'.blink() you get '<blink>Hello</blink>' returned. So I guess it's an ES thing and it boggles

We've done this for a lot of data vis work. Clients have access to a cms which lets them stage and publish their data. Doing so puts JSON files on s3 where we also serve the site. There are some trade offs, sometimes you miss having th

If I were to guess, I'd say operation based synchronisation is based on syncing user actions and then executing them on the other side to catch up. E.g., user deleted record 23. User added a record with this data. User changed this fie

That went from "Oh, another article about the parts of a URI" to "wow..." very quickly. The path parameters were kind of neat, I was under the impression ; could be used instead of & and was only for query string par

I wonder how we would have reacted if rather than spacing all these out, they batched them up an did one big announcement with plans for all lines being discontinued. Quick and clean sort of deal.

In the week I do 7.5 hours a night. 9:30 to 5am. I find I wake up feeling best if I get sleep in blocks of 1.5 hours (with a bare minimum of 4.5) so depending on circumstance I do 6 hours some nights (go to bed later) or 9 if I need to catc
